The Batman Hoodie

Become the savior of Gotham City while staying nice and toasty.

We normally reserve our more geeky apparel for special occasions, such as E3 or special IGN get-togethers where we sit and strategize about how to best use movie references to meet girls. However, one fanboy item has come across our desks that we would proudly wear just about anywhere. Why? Because its time to give this office the hero it needs, not the one it deserves. It needs, the Batman hoodie (cue Danny Elfman score).

Why Batman, you ask? Why NOT Batman, we say! This is the closest you can come to dressing up like the caped crusader without needing to visit a Halloween store. Thankfully, the designers opted for a more ninja-esque Batman when creating the look for this awesome piece of clothing, though to be honest we'd probably wear an Adam West version just as quickly (cue the Batoosie).

Put it on, zip it up and you'll notice the incredible deal on the hoodie, including the muscled out suit look and utility belt. But wait, is someone being mugged in the alley? Simply pull the zipper up all the way and you get Batman's whole face to wear, complete with mesh eyeholes to see out of. Now grab a makeshift batarang from the dumpster and go save that damsel in distress.

Will this get you beat up at school? Meh, possibly, though you could just find a friend with a Superman hoodie and form a World's Finest duo, becoming the ultimate hallway monitors. Just don't go the extra mile and start dating a hairy chick named Selina or grabbing someone by the shirt and say "I'm Batman" whenever they ask who you are, we doubt the mesh on the eyeholes will defend against pepper spray.

The XL version will run you $74.00, a tad on the pricey side, but you know what they say, either you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. What does that have to do with the price? Nothing, but we needed to fill our movie reference quota, it gets us girls, you know. BATMAN OUT!
